Charlie Bailey, 2018 Democratic Nominee - Attorney General of Georgia
“As an Assistant District Attorney in Fulton County, Fani brought justice to hundreds of victims and protected thousands more from some of the most violent offenders in our state. As Chief Municipal Judge of the City of South Fulton, she understood and brought to bear the principle that every case is more than just names and numbers—that they represent real people/real families, whether they be the accused or the victims—and therefore deserve the full, fair, and reasoned attention of the public officials tasked with handling their matter.
We deserve a District Attorney who embodies these values, therefore, I proudly endorse my friend, Fani T. Willis, for the position of Fulton County District Attorney. There is no person I trust more to carry out that responsibility.”
